2 hours ago at the lights next to a grey 135i coupe on Victoria St.. The 135i driver was revving his engine hard. Captain Obvious, obviously wanting to race me.. Not to mention his passenger yelling **** out his window..

That's the best feeling isn't it? Some Speedy Sam rolls up all gee'd up to race you, despite you doing nothing to invoke that behavior. I had a Evo VIII pull up along side me and he kept creeping forward, revving his engine, constantly glancing over at me. He focused on the lights for the other direction to change so he could get the hole-shot... green... yellow... RED! Evo boy bounces off the rev limiter, waits a second and then guns it across the intersection. Only to realise that our light was red, and the green light had been for the lane heading in the other direction. He slams on the brakes in the middle of the intersection while cars start to mill around him. How embarrassment!

AHAHA< thats fcuked.

Would have been cool to watch an Evo launch that hard though, for no apparent reason. Thats gearbox smashing territory, and this bloke just seems to do it whenever - not only just for special occassions!

If i was going to use the Launch Control on my car, i would use it wisely - would have to be against someone or something that is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
